Kaiju Maker in Another World

Chapter 3: Low Profile Grinding

Chapter 3: Low Profile Grinding

--- Chapter 2 ---

One year later.

Yu Long ran around inside the forest. His speed is fast, skipping from tree to tree effortlessly. 

"Gotcha!" He stretched his right hand and caught a small yet beautiful butterfly with bright blue wings. A bright light enveloped the butterfly, turning the insect into a little blue sphere.

A smile appeared on Yu Long's face as he ate the sphere, sensing the information coming to his head.

Blue Glass Butterfly is a rare insect that exists in this forest. It appeared between summer and fall, possessing the ability to sense one's Profound Energy and Tracking it.

Profound Sense (E) Acquired.

Tracking (F) Acquired.

Wiping the sweat off his face, Yu Long went to the nearest water source and refilled his water bottle. 

Ha had grown slightly taller. His hair also became longer.

One year has passed after Yu Long awakened [Kaiju Maker] again. 

Although his skill and mastery over [Kaiju Maker] are low, Yu Long started to get the hang of it. Every time his past life memories return, Kaiju Maker will gain qualitative change.

At first, Yu Long couldn't control [Crystallization] of the essence and wasted much prey. 

Well, he has become slightly better now.

The abilities he gained after devouring the essence were also weaker than they should have been. For example, the Blue Glass Butterfly is a tricky insect as it can sense the surrounding Profound Energy.

It could detect anything around a 100-meter radius easily.

If Yu Long hadn't tried the Blue Glass Butterfly with poison first, he wouldn't have been able to catch it.

Compared to his past self, who could even raise abilities grades despite the target's low quality. Yu Long is inferior.

He also couldn't create [Kaiju] yet.

As sad as it sounds, Yu Long couldn't do anything about it. 

To create a [Kaiju], Yu Long has to generate enough "Inner Vitality." from his body and use it to combine the Essence Sphere. 

Inner Vitality is something Yu Long can't use at the moment. 

He's still young, and Inner Vitality is a raw potential needed for his growth. 

If Yu Long used it recklessly, he could become a child forever.

That's a big no-no.

At least until puberty, he needs to conserve his Inner Energy. 

Why puberty?

It is because puberty is the golden phase when one's body grows the fastest, thanks to hormonal release.

Thankfully, humans in the Against the God aged differently than humans in their past lives. 

That's why many jade beauties exist. Their puberty hits differently.

Even if it's not the case, a sect like Frozen Cloud Asgard has Profound Arts that 'beautify' girls by several grades.

Yu Long looked around and found a safe, quiet place to meditate. 

He wants to sort out the abilities he accumulated after a year.

Although not much, Yu Long believed he obtained the necessary abilities to fight or run away from the enemy. Fortunately, he could stack or train the abilities to increase their grades.

He shook his head, sighing at his limited growth. 

He couldn't do much. 

Yu Long sneaked back to the Yu Clan and changed his clothes. 

"Lily, food." He said while reading some books. 

He's studying the physiology of humans in this world, specifically profound veins used to cultivate.

The purpose of profound veins is to hold energy. Each person is innately born with a set of these veins. It starts growing at birth and reaches maturity at around fourteen years old. 

Although Profound Veins do not affect one's life and death, it was still a part of the body.

The profound veins inside the human body are like a robust and mature tree with many branches spreading out in all directions. 

Each branch laid an entrance. As for the trunk, it was the most significant core position of the veins, the base of all the veins. On this base, there were no profound entrances.

On the other hand, profound entrances decide how high one's talent is.

A person can only have a total of Fifty-four Profound Entrances. If one has more entrances opened, their cultivation of the profound way and their activation speed will increase. 

A practitioner with twenty opened profound entrances would undoubtedly cultivate and activate their strength twice as fast as a practitioner born with only ten opened.

The number of innately open Profound Entrances essentially decided the height one could reach during his entire life because it was 'extremely.' difficult to open Profound Entrances postnatal. 

Extremely advanced miraculous medicine, chance, and luck; not even one of these factors could be absent. 

Using external forces to open Profound Entrances would be accompanied by high risks. Even the slightest mistake would cause irreparable damage to the Profound Veins.

When all fifty-four profound entrances are 'completely' opened, it is known as Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins. The cultivation speed will be the maximum, and the owner will never hit a bottleneck!

"Never hit a bottleneck? What a lie." Yu Long mumbled to himself.

Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins indeed increase one cultivation speed, but it depends on the individual. Another factor, such as goal, could affect one's state of cultivation. 

After knowing this, Yu Long believed his future cultivation needed a perfect balance.

A perfect state of mind and body will cause a miraculous outcome.

"Young master, this is your food." Lily brought many plates on wide trays, placing them one by one on the table.

"Thanks." Yu Long nodded, devouring the nearest food immediately.

'Young master is so cute.' Lily thought while watching her squirrel-like little boss eating his food. 

Obliterating the food from existence, Yu Long patted his bulging stomach and sat down for a bit. 

The ability [Fast Digestion] kicked in, breaking the food in his stomach and letting him absorb the energy more efficiently. 

Yu Long exhaled turbid air from his chest and walked to the bathroom, entering a big basin with clean river water. 

[Self-Purification] activated on Yu Long's body, purging out impurities.

Soon, the water in the basin turned brown and dark. 

Yu Long jumped out and meditated again as [Improved Growth] ability triggered. A wave of rejuvenation swept over Yu Long, making him feel comfortable.

As if he had a breakthrough, his profound veins become more mature.

"Uuuh..." Yu Long hissed in delight.

No wonder Cultivators are addicted to breakthroughs and pills.

It's better than sex and drugs.

'Wait, how did I know this is better than sex? Have I ever had sex before in the previous life?' Yu Long was 'suddenly' struck by a realization. 

Yu Long pondered a bit and shrugged as time would reveal his previous life memory.

He clenched his hand, "Hmm, 10% increase in physical fitness." 

"Also, did my skin become whiter and softer?" He commented, observing the mirror's reflection. 

Yu Long looked down at his little brother, "Hmm..." 

"I'm sure there is an ability that can increase length." 

"Should I research insects or small animals with this ability?"

"Of course, this is more of an investment for my future." 

"Still, at this age. It can't get hard at all." 

Yu Long sighed and walked out of the bathroom, wearing his clothes back. He was walking to his mother's room, thinking about how he should ask for a Martial Art Instructor.

Of course, he doesn't do this purely for training his martial arts. 

Yu Long wants to know how cultivators in this world circulate their energies. 

If possible. Yu Long wanted to test whether he could alter one's profound veins and entrances.

With that in mind, Yu Long confidently entered his mother's room. She was sitting on her rocking chair, enjoying a cup of tea.

"Long'er, come!" Yu Xin greeted him with a smile.

"Give mother a kiss." 

Yu Long smiled and pecked her cheek, sitting on her lap. 

"Mom, I want something." He said innocently. 

"Oh, what is it?" Yu Xin found it weird as her son was usually straightforward when asking about books.

Yu Long gazed at her eyes and whispered, "I want a Martial Art Instructor..." 

"And that person must be a Nascent Profound Realm Master or above." He continued with a determination look.
